Conflicts and unrest between Israel and her Arab neighbours represent one of the most important keys to understanding the geopolitics of much of the last century.

The modelling section features five of the best modellers in the world including Mig Jiménez, Lucas Zaromitidis, Michal Dostál, Rick Lawler and Allon Kira. Each will show you how to paint and weather IDF armour with the different colours of camouflage sported by Israeli vehicles throughout the young country´s history while using a multitude of different painting techniques and effects.

T-54B Service
Going into production in 1957, the T-54B was developed in 1955, and featured a new 100mm D-10T2S main gun fitted with the Tsyklon 2-axis stabilizer, which could fire specially developed APFSDS rounds to dramatically improve armour penetration.
The T-54B was the first Soviet tank to be fitted with night-fighting equipment, which consisted of the L-2 Luna infrared gun sight and OU-3 infrared searchlight for the commander.
The T-54 successfully served the North Vietnamese in combat and made international headlines in 1972 during the Easter Offensive and once again in 1975 photographed crashing through the gates of the Presidential Palace in Saigon, signalling the end of Vietnam’s civil war.
Variants of the T-54 saw action during the Hungarian Revolution in 1956, served Egypt and Syria during the Six-Day War of 1967, and were captured during the 1973 Yom Kippur war to be updated and serve as the Tiran-4.
The tank was also heavily used by Iraq during the 8-year long Iran Iraq War of the 1980s, and several are currently serving in the Syrian Civil War in the Aleppo area.
